Fight Blades with Blades

lyrics

good morning sleepyhead - it's a new dawn
don't even think about about turning that news on
not even a soupcon of a truth bomb
trail of fertilizer from augusta to tuscon
when i was just a boy my dad said here's what to do son
open up your heart to jesus he'll
make you new, son
freedom ain't free, boom here's a coupon
in a world of jimmy stewarts, be a jimmy neutron
now step back, no farther, farther, you can see it like a mural hanging up in the great hall
racked up national, city, and state mall
didn't even need a cue to knock in the eight ball
justice for some, loved none, disgraced all
corked the bat, said hey, that's baseball
exit sandman
look at these hands, man
about to get a callous from all these facepalms
suit down, soy bomb the debate stage
out of the mouths of babes and onto the blank page
fake machine, fake against, or fake rage
feeling like john candy in spaceballs
walls are talking, floorboards are creaking
tryin to patch the hole while the tapes are leaking
storm the firewall, hack the teleprompter
static note that says refrain from speaking
refrain from speaking

refrain from speaking
refrain from speaking
refrain from

roll call - toro, craftsman and lawn boy
tools of the trade lined up in a convoy
go on, run along to your chores now john boy
cut that grass til the grass is gone boy
do your own yard first then move on boy
women on the block then grandpa's farm boy
and i happen to like the smell, thank you very much
don't you know the pleasing odor's
half the charm boy
cut it off on both sides of the pond boy
all the way to infinity and beyond boy
then call guiness
or the olympics
gold weedwhacker on the jumbotron boy
21-rev salute when you're gone boy
epitaph reads "fight blades with blades,
and on that note, maintenance, don't do me wrong, boy"
moment of silence, now pass the baton boy
refrain from speaking
